Buck up, buttercup!

Today as I was sitting in my car with Aud waiting for Ramsey to pull up at Moes, I happened to look over and see possibly one of the cutest/saddest things ever. A friend of mine and his girlfriend both came out to their car that was parked a couples spaces from mine. The wind was blowing way too hard today and so the girl twirled around with her hands in the air and stopped and grinned at her boy friend. He smiled one of those smiles (you know, the ones that say 'wow. you're amazing. what did i do to deserve you!?') and he walked over, opened her car door, gave her a quick kiss on the forehead, and shut her door after she got in. he walked back over to his side, and he smiled a little. (it was the kind of smile saying 'wow. i'm the luckiest person alive.') he got in his car, and they both laughed and smiled at each other, and drove off.

It didn't hit me until today how lonely I am. A couple months ago I was that girl. What happened? It broke my heart all over again seeing this.

So, to make up for my saddness, I did what any other girl might have done... Went to Target to buy a "buck-up buttercup, it'll happen one day!" 'diamond' ring for myself. Its beautiful, see?



Its my promise to myself not to ever have an almost-emotional breakdown like that ever again, because I know one day I will be right back there in her shoes, and I won't ever take those moments for granted again.
love, me.
